Then the ones who pleased the Lord will ask, "When did we give you something to eat or drink? When did we welcome you as a stranger or give you clothes to wear or visit you while you were sick or in jail?"The King will answer, "Whenever you did it for any of my people, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did it for me." .......Matthew 25

Edible spiders - Haplopelma

As you travel up to Baray from Phnom Penh, there is a town called Skoun where a turn off will lead you eastwards into Kampong Chham. There the specialty is a kind of edible tarantula. Apparently this spider is quite known through SE Asia as the 'edible spider', Haplopelma albostriatum.
